For years he has been <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49007\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in a persistent rage over the <em>&#8220;white replacement theory,&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> a blatantly racist concept peddled by hate mongers and bigots who accuse Democrats of <em>&#8220;importing&#8221;<\/em> immigrants into the United States in order to dilute the voting power of white citizens. Most recently it&#8217;s been in the news because it fueled the horrific mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, by an adherent to the theory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52912\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump Jr Defends the Buffalo Shooter\u2019s Racist Creed \u2013 as Seen Daily on Fox News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Monday night, despite his long established status as Fox&#8217;s chief champion of the white replacement theory, Carlson had the gall to disgorge a monologue distancing himself from the doctrine for which he has been the most prominent proponent <em>(video below)<\/em>. He babbled that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve heard a lot about the &#8220;great replacement theory&#8221; recently, everywhere in the last few days, and we&#8217;re still not sure exactly what it is.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>WHAT? Suddenly Carlson wants his viewers to believe that he has no idea what the white replacement theory is. Never mind that a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/04\/30\/us\/tucker-carlson-tonight.html?chapter=3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent New York Times investigation<\/a><\/strong> found that he has promoted it more than 400 times on his program. Without knowing what it is? Here are a few examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tucker Carlson pushing Great Replacement Theory, all in one place, courtesy of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MehdiHasanShow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MehdiHasanShow<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MSNBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MSNBC<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Watch\/share\/be disgusted:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uwOeYkWHSW\">pic.twitter.com\/uwOeYkWHSW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mehdirhasan\/status\/1526006611751448582?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 16, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a classic feat of gaslighting, Carlson went on to spin furiously an alternative reality wherein he asserted that it was Democrats who proffered the repugnant theory&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Here\u2019s what we do know for a fact: There\u2019s a strong political component to the Democratic Party&#8217;s immigration theory. We&#8217;re not guessing this. We know this, and we know it because they have said so. They said it again, and again, and again. They&#8217;ve written books on it, and monograms, and magazine articles. They&#8217;ve bragged about it endlessly, and talk about it on cable news constantly. And they say it, out loud, \u2018we are doing this because it helps us to win elections.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, none of what Carlson is ranting about is <em>&#8220;know[n] for a fact.&#8221;<\/em> To the contrary, he&#8217;s making all of it up. And he used some badly mangled and out of context video to back up his lies. Among the clips he played was one of President Biden saying&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Folks like me, who are Caucasian, of European descent, for the first time in 2017 will be an absolute minority in the United States of America. Absolute minority. Fewer than 50% of the people in America, from then on will be White, European stock. That\u2019s not a bad thing. That\u2019s a source of our strength.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Carlson is purposefully misinterpreting the commentaries in the video clips. What they are describing is the demographic reality that the share of the population of certain minorities groups in the U.S. is growing at a faster rate than that of the White population. That growth is coming from the families of Black and Brown citizens whose birthrates are higher than Whites. It has nothing whatsoever to do with immigration. And it isn&#8217;t a plot being executed by Democrats. It&#8217;s just an observation of publicly available census data, and reasonable projections made therefrom.<\/p>\n<p>More to the point, Carlson&#8217;s theory that accuses Democrats of deliberately bringing undocumented immigrants into the U.S. in order to overwhelm White voters doesn&#8217;t even make sense. For one thing, such immigrants wouldn&#8217;t be able to vote for many years, if ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50371\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">On Fox News Tucker Carlson Drops His Sickest White Supremacy Conspiracy Theory Yet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So Carlson&#8217;s entire premise rests on his rancid racism and his shameless dishonesty.
